Examining the Hardest-Hit Regions
Which geographies attract the most DDoS attacks? Not surprisingly, the United States still holds an unenviable first place ranking at 54%. India shows up next at 23%. In the first half of 2021, India only dealt with 2% of DDoS attacks, Microsoft says. Hong Kong takes third place at 8%.
“Interestingly, relative to other regions, we saw a decrease in DDoS activity in Europe, dropping from 19% in the first half of 2021 to 6% in the second half,” the team says.
The attacks in Asia mostly stemmed from gaming. China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and India all are seeing more smartphone adoption, and, consequently, more mobile gaming.
